When remodeling your kitchen or bathroom, consider these features:

EXHAUST FANS Lots of steam is produced in both the bathroom and kitchen. Prevent that moisture from creating moldand mildew problems with exhaust fans.

TASK LIGHTING Unlike the bedroom or living room, where the lighting is often focused on setting the right mood, thekitchen and bathroom are workspaces that require direct “task lighting.”

LOW-MAINTENANCE MATERIALS When choosing tile, flooring, counters, and even paint, it’s important to research their maintenanceneeds: do they need any special treatments, how easy they are to clean, and consider resistance to wearand tear.

EXTRA STORAGE SPACE To account for the natural expansion of goods that occurs in most households, be sure to create enoughstorage space for future purchases. You'll be glad to have it later.
